The Gemini AI, developed by Google, has been integrated into several platforms, with a strong presence in Google's ecosystem, particularly in Gmail. Since its introduction in early 2026, Gemini has been changing how users interact with their email inbox by introducing features such as composing messages based on user requests, searching across all messages, and summarizing conversations. These features are part of Google's ongoing efforts to enhance user experience through artificial intelligence.
A leaker named Abhishek Yadav discovered some unclear lines of code in the Gmail version dated 2026.09.28 that hint at an "AI Inbox" function. This feature would include AI suggesting actions, such as prioritizing responses to urgent messages. A "Start with Gemini" button (the final French translation may differ) could be added to these suggestions, allowing users to direct the AI to handle specific tasks. Once initiated, an "In progress" message would appear, and if the AI requires user input, it would prompt "Requires your intervention." Android Authority also noted a "Provide information" button to assist the AI in gathering necessary details.
Once the task is completed, the AI would indicate "Ready for review," allowing users to check, possibly modify, and then validate or reject the result. If the task involves drafting a response to an email, a "Draft a draft" button might appear instead of "Start with Gemini."
It is unclear when, or if, these features will be available to users. They may initially be exclusive to the United States and require a paid subscription to Google Workspace, Google AI Pro, or Ultra.
